Yours are probably 255/70/16, but either way, they will fit fine. Maybe, just a SLIGHT rub at full lock, but nothing to worry about.

ok cool thanks guys! i think they will look really good oh her ex. I am not forsure about the tire size of the 16's. I put them on my Ranger and they rubbed really bad because of the wrong offset of the rims. But i did notice that this ex has the offset as the rims i have. Thanks again!

These are my 255/70/16 XEBs on my '96 Lmtd. They make a nice look.

Yes, that is a real '96 Limited. It had some aftermarket wheels on it when I bought it, which I have since sold to another member here.
